PUBLIC HEARING ON NEW PROPERTY TAX INCREASES

9:00 a.m.

Dallas City Hall, 6th Floor

Want even HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES? If so, you're in luck!

The Dallas City Council is considering property tax increases to cover city budget shortfalls. Town hall meetings held by various City Council Members have been filled mostly with city employees and other city budget interest groups demanding our taxes be increased during a deep recession. The city wants to avoid bureaucratic belt-tightening, the sort of responsible budget restraint we must employ every day.

The City Council can increase our taxes up to a nickel per $100 in valuation. Below is a quick review of where council members stand to date on tax increases:

District 1 Delia Jasso: Favors
District 2 Pauline Medrano: No Response
District 3 David A. Neumann: Undecided
District 4 Dwaine R. Caraway: No Response
District 5 Vonciel Jones Hill: Undecided
District 6 Steve Salazar: Favors
District 7 Carolyn R. Davies: Favors
District 8 Tennell Atkins: Favors
District 9 Sheffie Kadane: Undecided, leans toward Opposing
District 10: Jerry R. Allen: Undecided, leans toward FAVORING
District 11: Linda Koop: Opposed
District 12 Ron Natinsky: No Response
District 13: Ann Margolin: Opposed
District 14: Angela Hunt: Undecided, leans toward FAVORING
